Is it def an m3? it looks like a 4 cylinder block on those first pics? :S maybe its just sat that far back that you cant see the other 2 cylinders lol :)

No worries, its prob not really worth that lol, im not really wanting to sell it as such as its a tidy one! :) good luck finding a car!

You can have mine for 6.5k (52 172 with 24k) ... cambelt changed and aux belt with full service history, new wheels and tyres 1000 miles ago!

Ive got prokit eibachs on my 172, they are great - a world apart from the apex springs which were on it when i bought the car - I thought they were shockingly bad! (excuse the pun) They also seem to have dropped the car a little over standard :)

Meeee! ive got an iceburg silver! :)

I have a set of 172 wheels you can have for £225 with tyres! :)

Mine does that too, its annoying!

ps I think it sits lower now the springs have settled, that pic was just after they were fitted!

I mean it used to bounce a lot, like the front end "bobbed" about, it completely stopped it doing this with the eibachs. Also when i say bottom out i dont mean it scraped the road, it just felt like it was reaching the end of travel on the dampers! Was fine driving about on smooth roads, but I...

I had apex springs with standard dampers on my 172 - it sat low but it was near on impossible to drive fast on a back road, it pitched all the time and bottomed out, was like riding a pogo stick. Ive swapped to eibach pro kit springs now still with standard struts (although replaced the rears...

Ive been driving up and down that road for weeks and ive not spotted her yet! :(

A few bits for sale... Ex Clio Cup Speedlines in Black http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=280175854755&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=018 Clio Winter Wheels Renault 15" Steelies with Avon Ice Tours...

Thanks for the comments :) I need to get my plate on it still, (got some short plates made up ready to go on) and id quite like a stealth exhaust for it at some point! Here is a close up of the rims... (i know they look slightly small but I didnt like the way it drove on 17s so stuck with 16s)

I have T1R's on my clio, I havnt done that many miles but find them fine. The only downside i would say is they cause a harder ride having a reinforced sidewall. I tested this theory with my cooper s, running back to back with t1r's and yoko parada spec 2s, the paradas gave an unbelievably...

Ive got that head unit, its great :D dont know if it works with the changer though, i just use my ipod with it so not too bothered!

Does anyone know what the problem is when the stop light flashes randomly?

Thanks for the comments :) its just been cleaned yeh! although not given it the clay treatment yet! will do soon though! I like the idea of a splitter! will have to see if i can find one!

Thought id post some pics up of the clio in its final modding stage (yeh right :P) I bought the car about a month ago, and posted it with pics of some 17" Toora wheels on and apex springs. The wheels were ditched, with some standard 172 wheels in place of them, and some eibach springs fitted...

As far as i know, if you blip the throttle with the clutch depressed you arnt actually helping anything... the clutch needs to be up when you blip it then back down to go into gear. I found this out when driving an old jaguar xk140, which required double clutching to make a down shift (no...

Pics look good! would have loved to have taken mine, but at the mo ive got some crap springs on and the rear exhaust mount is knackered, its all going to be sorted by next weekend though, so if there are any others id be up for coming along!

Not liking that too much, must have been a reason for respraying it - i cant imagine anyone doing that just for fun!

Awesome pics! :) do you tend to shoot in shutter priority when shooting cars at the track? I find that works well, however I saw an article in a magazine saying that for panning shots you should use aperture priority at around f14/15 depending on how much ambient light there is. Thanks Nick

Does anyone know where I might find out what the weight is of standard 172 phase 2 wheels and tyres (per wheel) even a rough guess would do! Random question i know! Thanks Nick

Yeah im pleased with it, just dont like the way it drives on 17s, also dont like the Apex springs! so once i get that sorted out ill be pleased! - i must get round to changing that! haha

Thought id post these up on here! had a bit of a play with the camera today. The wheels are not staying on it before you say anything :rasp:

Mine is an import! I can tell because when I call up the renault dealer to get a quote for parts, they took my reg and said thats an import! lol!

I dont know what the wheels are exactly! All i know is that they are made by Toora, they might be for sale at some point soon if anyone is interested! :)

Haha yeah! if they did one id get one! :D

Thanks for the comments :) im going to put it back on standard rims if i can find some (i like the look of big wheels, but i would rather go for the drive than looks) would love to put h&r coilovers on, but im running this as a cost saving exercise after the cooper s, so trying not to spend a...

Cheers for that, ill have a look into it, im trying to decide what to do with it, suspension is first on my list, it feels like its pushing the dampers with the apex springs on, like its bottoming out all the time on them. So may look at some new struts and eibachs sportlines. Dont really want...
